An Interactive Algebra Course

Concluding remarks on IDA
- Interfaces with computer algebra packages
in two ways:
- via notebooks/worksheets started up with a local CAS
- via a client/server model in JAVA
(for Maple, LiE, GAP, Mathematica,...)
- Earlier approach of making existing texts interactive is abandoned.
- JAVA and HTML are good choices (and so OM here).
- A Computer Algebra System in JAVA?
- Yes: for mathematical objects
- No: for heavy duty
- Experience so far:
internet availability brings up licence (non-)issues
(compare with libraries).
- Many interesting references on the net;
e.g. CAIN URL: http://www.can.nl contains tutorials.
